FTCE Guidance and Counseling PK-12 Practice Test

The Strong Interest Inventory is a self-report measure of vocational interests that is typically administered with 291 items and completed at the test-taker’s own pace, with no time limit. Scoring is done by computer, which generates a detailed profile including Holland codes (RIASEC) and occupational recommendations. This combination—a 291-item instrument that is untimed and computer-scored—reflects how the SII is designed to be used in practice. The other descriptions don’t fit: they either give the wrong item count, impose time pressure, or suggest hand- or paper-based scoring, whereas the standard format emphasizes untimed completion and automated scoring.
